What you’ll learn
I can apply a variety of dynamics (speed and force) to my actions.
Key learning points
- Move: using dynamics with actions by changing the speed and force, helps us to communicate the idea.
- Think: being able to understand the actions of others requires imagination.
- Feel: we demonstrate courage when we perform actions different to others in the group.
- Connect: sharing space with others without stopping them from performing their actions requires fairness.
Words to know
- speed
- how fast or slow an action is performed
- force
- how gentle or powerfully an action is performed
- dynamics
- the combination of speed and force
Common mistakes
Dynamics describes how fast an action is performed.
Dynamics involves both speed and force. Some words do mean speed, e.g. quick, whereas others only talk about force, e.g. strong. However some words might mean both, e.g. explosive would be both fast and strong.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Playing music loudly only increases the overall volume in the room as pupils try to talk over it when planning their dances. This impacts negatively on the output by the pupils and is a safety consideration.
